FoolProof is a suite of web-driven programs that use true consumer advocacy to differentiate your credit union from other financial institutions. All of our programs start at your credit union's homepage.
Our programs help your members and their children "Safely Navigate the Free Enterprise system"—the FoolProof mission. We teach much more than financial literacy: we are a constant, long-term, real-time advocate for the financial welfare of your members, and you become the face and voice of that advocacy.
